Closed DSTs: The 10 Largest Reported Distribution-Rate Gaps
Blue Vault reviewed closed DST programs with nonzero reported distribution rates and selected the ten largest absolute differences between actual payments and original projections. Nine of the selected programs were below projection; one was above it.
The comparison measures percentage-point gaps, not total investment returns, and ranks differences in either direction by size. The article treats the results as a starting point for investigating reporting periods, payment composition and the causes of departures from projections. Offering size alone does not explain a distribution shortfall.
Research considerations
DST coverage can involve new offerings, acquisitions, financing, sponsor developments, or exits. When considering an offering, the property portfolio, sponsor experience, capital structure, fees, and exit assumptions deserve a closer review alongside the announcement.
- Does the announcement concern a specific offering, the sponsor, or the broader DST market?
- What do the current offering documents say about the properties, debt, fees, risks, and exit assumptions?
